  2. It's really telling that even though the two Pathmark stores in Harlem are doing well (profitable to the people running them), it still took such immense effort and 10 years of struggle to get the first one brought to Harlem. Why don't businesses and franchises want to develop in Harlem? I know residents are lower SES overall than Manhattan as a whole, but everyone needs to buy groceries.
